Nuclear Technologies

Online AAS Degree from an Accredited Leader in Distance Learning

Excelsior College's online Associate in Applied Science in Technical Studies (Nuclear Technologies) was specifically designed to help the nuclear power industry meet its workforce challenges.

It's also designed to provide students with academic credit for technical expertise they have acquired through military education or on-the-job training. Because you'll get credit for your hands-on knowledge, you will need to take fewer Excelsior classes to complete the AAS degree.

  • Satisfy many degree requirements via military education and work experience.
